John began mortgage lending in 1987 and founded Mortgage Master in 1976 along with his dad and sister. The company has grown from a small family-owned establishment, to a mid-size corporation with multiple branches throughout the state of Washington.

John is well versed in Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans. He enjoys helping first time homebuyers and seasoned homeowners alike. John’s clients are 100% return and referral based. He finds it hard to believe that he’s now on serving third-generation families with their mortgage needs!

John has been passionately involved in WAMB (Washington Association of Mortgage Brokers) and NAMB (National Association of Mortgage Brokers) for many years, including time served as an elected board official. He has been instrumental in passing several acts and establishing programs at both state and National levels. He has most recently been awarded the 2016 Bruce Ellingson Award for his devotion to NAMB’s Political Action Committee (PAC).

Outside of work, John loves spending time with his family. Last year he had his first and second grandchildren. He says it’s true what they say about being a grandparent!

He and his dad share a passion for antique automobiles and have built quite a collection of Fords and Mecurys. Born at Virginia Mason Hospital, John says there’s no better place to live than the Pacific Northwest.

Working with John and his team was the most pleasant experience. His positive attitude and great spirit were infectious. It was always a positive interaction when talking with him or Brenda. You make a great team!
Thank you for all you did to make our experience of refinancing so wonderful.

John Porter and his team are so knowledgeable and professional that I never had a worry as to whether things were on track. He is always very up front with expectations and needs which helps the process immensely. As long as John is financing homes, I'll be sending my business (and others) his way.

John was highly recommended to me by a close friend who has VERY high standards. I entered the real estate market overwhelmed by bidding wars, multiple offers, well over the asking price, and the shortage of housing in the Seattle area. I felt like a deer in headlights. John got me prequalified in NO time and he really watched out for my interests during the buying process. Let’s face it, I was a nervous wreck because real estate is such a foreign field to me. Plus, this was the biggest financial transaction in my life to date. When it was time to make an offer, John was SO helpful letting me know what I could expect, and when, and he provided everything I needed to make my offer. Then his team patiently took me through the entire process. They were kind, helpful, efficient and conscientious. He was 1000% on my side and watched out for me during the transaction, which was EXACTLY what I needed. Without John’s decades of experience, this transaction would have never gotten off the ground. He’s got a GREAT sense of humor, promptly responds to phone calls and email messages, and knows what it takes to get a home purchase CLOSED ON TIME. I’m very fortunate to have had John’s experience on my side. I’d contact him again for a mortgage in a heartbeat.

I was referred to Mortgage Master by a long time friend from Chicago who is in the same business. I wasn't sure of my options due to past circumstances, but John and his team laid out my options, kept me informed throughout the mortgage process, and in the end I was beyond satisfied with the outcome and loan program given. I couldn't be more thankful and happy with the excellent service that everyone at Mortgage Master has to offer. I highly recommend this company to all!

Over a number of years we have used Mortgage Master several times for mortgage services. We could not be happier with all aspects of their service, and the staff has gone above and beyond to assist us. We have also referred others to them. Mortgage Master has been and continues to be far superior to any other companies we have used in the past, and we will continue to give our business to them in the future.

This was our first home purchase together and it was an exciting and stressful time and Mortgage Master helped us through the entire process! From our first phone conversation, Mortgage Master was straight-forward and wanted to help. We were coached through our credit, financing, mortgage limit, and by the time we made an offer on our home, the process was smooth and we know what to expect. Our rate was locked in early in the process and we were very happy with where this landed in the market. Mortgage Master made themselves available whenever we would call and quickly responded with any documentation or information needed; even when our closing dates changed. We can't speak enough of the great experience that we had working with John, Marilyn, and Theresa. Our real estate agent even commented multiple times that she hasn't worked with a better lender. Thank you for the great experience and helping us get in to our dream home! Thank you Mortgage Master!!

This is my second refinancing with Mortgage Master Service Corporation. My reason for using Mortgage Master again was because of the outstanding service I received the first time I did business with them. They are expedient, professional, and get the job done quickly and efficiently. I love doing business with Mortgage Master because I know everything is going to be done right and professionally.

My wife and I went to Mortgage Master Service Corp for our first home loan 5 years ago. Since then and with continued guidance from our loan officer, we have just completed our second refi. MMSC's understanding of our needs and detailed education through the process is allowing my wife and I to complete the remodel of our dreams in a much shorter timeline than we anticipated.

I had some hesitation about switching mortgage brokers but in the end I'm glad that I did. Everyone at Mortgage Masters was very professional, hard working, and they made me feel like I was their only client. Any questions I had were answered completely and quickly and they made the whole process as pain free as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market.
